Huh? On my system CVS reports the missing file but works nontheless. Oh,
wait. Are you talking about "cvs login" ? Is that the command that fails?
Just forget it. I've not encountered a single site where anonymous access
actually requires a cvs login (although they all list in in the
instructions). And noone I've asked so far could provide me with a reason
to use cvs login. They all say that they've just copied the cvs
instructions from somewhere else and never questioned them.
